title: [Pulse pressure and target organs damage in elderly patients with arterial hypertension].
abstract: For the purpose of determination of the importance of daily pulse pressure (PP-24) as the heart, vessels and kidneys affection marker in elderly patients with arterial hypertension we studied 260 patients of the age of 73.3 +/- 7.3 years. The multiple logistic regression analysis was carried out. The results showed that PP-24 irrespective to systolic or diastolic blood pressure was associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular enlargement as well as elevated aortic stiffness and carotid plaque. Morphofunctional changes in peripheral vessels and kidneys were independent on the level of PP-24.
